Questions

What BPM is Fue?

How long is the drum part?

60 bars, about 3:56 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 17 exercises over 6 sittings, about 24 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare and kick. Nothing in the part asks for anything else.

How many fills are in Fue?

2 fills to learn, played 4 times: bars 32, 52, 57 and 58.
